  • HELP! How to Drain Mashtun That Won't Drain

    Long story short, used rye without enough rice hulls. I've tried every trick in the book to get it flowing, its way too sticky to get any flow out. I've already called the brew a loss, but I cannot drain the mashtun. So it is packed full with a lot of liquid. Cannot drain anything from the bottom, even pumping water up will only let me drain for a few seconds. Have the mashtun door open a jar but its just dribbling out. No clue where to go from here, if I open the mashtun door everything will come out.

    Do you have rakes? Turn them on and take them all the way down to the false bottom. That should help you de-water things. Otherwise, its going to be a mess when you open up the mash tun door.
